Profile:

The mainstay of England's bowling for years, although sometimes unaccountably overlooked by the selectors, and plagued by hip injuries, Angus (Gus) Fraser was a seam bowler in the classic mould, with immaculate length and line, and late movement. Never easy to score from, his nagging off-stump line frustrated batsmen, and in helpful conditions, no-one in the world could play him with confidence. A tall man, he generated pace and bounce, but generally concentrates on accuracy. His run-up and action was not elegant- described by Mike Selvey as resembling " a man trampling thorugh a nettle-bed, pursued by bees", and his delivery stride was short. However, when his arm came over, it was perfectly on line with off stump, and the ball inevitably followed. He debuted in 1989, capturing the prized wicket of Steve Waugh as his first in Tests. Unusally for a seamer trained in England, he was able to take wickets with equal success overseas. In only his 4th Test he helped win a Test in the West Indies with a spell of 5 for 6, and four years later took 8/65 in Bridgetown. He missed 24 consecutive Tests after incurring a hip injury in 1990, and to the mystification of many was often omitted from the side when fit, notably for the 1994-95 Ashes tour. Called into the side after injuries, he bowled superbly. Persistent, dogged, always there when a captain needs an end tied up or a critical wicket, Fraser was England's most reliable fast bowler of the 90s. He retired in 2002 to pursue a career in the media (DGEL, Nov 1998, 2002).
